But a quibble: you use the ...You do beautiful work. But a quibble: you use the word underlining when you mean to say lining. An underlining is a fabric cut the same shape as the fashion fabric, basted to the fashion fabric, and the two layers are then treated as one throughout the garment construction. An underlining prevents seam allowances from showing on the right side of the garment and provides a layer for hand stitching to prevent stitches from piercing and being seen on the fashion fabric (hems, handstitching seam allowances down, etc). Garments with an underlining are typically lined.

Thank you for sharing this, your trousers look lovely!<br />Just a couple of things I'm wondering...do you trim the seam allowances at all?<br />Also, I'm assuming you attached a hook and bar closure...In my sewing books is tells you to sew these onto the outside of the waistband, but I noticed on bought trousers they are sort of "embedded" into the waistband with the sewn part hidden inside. Do you know how that is done?<br />Best wishes,<br />Sarah Jones, UKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5140515590936881334.post-77098987221559001292012-10-27T17:14:59.851-04:002012-10-27T17:14:59.851-04:00Thank you for such detail.

Also the lining prevents the pants from knee spring or fanny spring!!! I love the fit you got.
